Mike, Search engines don't release specifics about their algorithms. They keep these things very secret. If you want to rank well, keep focusing on SEO and work at it every day.
I too am curious about this. It seems that the only constant in ranking on the search engines are videos. They are always ranking well for me. Google, Bing, Yahoo, and MSN. No matter the SE the results are the same.
I am very sure about Google algorithms. Google keeps updating its algorithm once in 2 months, However, i am not sure about Yahoo. I am sorry
As far as I can tell, I have mainly tried to rank on Google. However, you may find some tips related to your question on this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2558805
Yahoo sucks, yahoo is nothing anymore, it is not a search engine, the search engine is Bing. It's like I create my site blablabla.com and I put a google search box will you call it the blablabla search engine?
Hi Anyway there are so many search engine and all is used by some amount of people to get the best result. So if you want to optimize your website for yahoo then you need to tack care about the content optimization. If you are using proper content which having the proximity, semanticity and other sure you will get the top ranking in yahoo. Hope you understand.
Google updates its algorithm in every 3 months. It is known to every one. But In case of Yahoo, i think it keeps its updates secret.
